The former Crack Magazine cover stars have released the charged new single Mercedes Marxist.
Having recently announced that they’re working on the follow-up to 2018’s Joy as an Act of Resistance, it’s not known whether Mercedes Marxist will appear on their next LP. Listen to the track below.
Back in January, the Bristol band shared a video to their Instagram page captioned with: “Writing like we have never done it before.” Furthermore, the group tweeted a haiku confirming they’re working on “album three”.
